Coyote,
Its all about energy management. If you don't feel comfortable doing such a manuever, then I highly recommend you don't attempt it without first receiving instruction from a competent instructor. Its better to learn the limitations of your aircraft in a controlled environment then become a test pilot by trying something in the heat of an emergency.
Autosync,
Don't get so defensive and don't assume you know someones experience level because they have the confidence to perform manuevers you were never taught. Also, I know shiney new certificate holders that have more confidence, ability, and knowledge then many "big dogs". Just because you are unwilling to learn new things doesn't make those new things bad, wrong, or unsafe. In my experience, those who assume they already know everything and stop learning are the most dangerous pilots. You might want to give this some thought.
